zara is one of the best brands that offer good price for above average quality...I would like to think that your income is quite ok....if it is so...don't hold back and just splurge  lil bit....

I concur as well. Good jacket does cost a bit.

if you're 6 feet and above, with a pretty average (or bigger) build then you can go for straight cut.. otherwise go for slim..

for khakis, i find camel active a little too rugged, so unless you plan on making trips to the outdoors, find something a little more classic and dressy..

zara is having sales at the moment and i saw some really nice slim fit khakis there, alternatively you can search at dockers, banana republic, gap, etc..

get a dress belt, a good option would be one with the reversible buckle, black and brown color leather.. use black for formal, brown for casual..

Thanks for the input. Tried on slim cut, funnily for straight cut I will need W33 ~ 34 meanwhile for slim I will need W36 to shove in my legs easily. When you squat, your under garment easily expose but not for straight cut - common?

Too late for me - bought already. I just found out yesterday when I wore it, after few rounds of turning in front of mirror, I believe it's the pocket that make it looked rugged. It's the huge pocket rather than a flat - not so dressy smile.gif.

Great innovation with this reversible buckle indeed, I bought the Camel Active belt immediately because of its reversible buckle...haven't seen this innovation before mar.....haha

well for working attire, seriously go for G2000...

not because of the brand not because of the price but the comfort of wearing and YES the cutting is perfectly nice and it fitted well..

Padini is sometimes overrated (is just a middle range brand and imported from Hong Kong) but when it has got sales, it is really cheap but you would see everyone with the same shirt..

but for the casual wear, yeap they are fashionable..

will never go for Bosini.. feel as if sometimes is too cartoon-ish...

and never go for Guess anymore - the quality is declining... one upon a time., a Guess t-shirt could be wear for long but now it just gives away with few washes.

Espirit.. i love Esipirt sometimes.. and yes, they are cheap during sales.. but even if it is not, i think it is still okay.. comparable with Zara..

but i supposed sometimes Zara's quality is aint that good...

i think is better to buy what you see and like it rather going to brand... tongue.gif

Zara...has got a very up to date look. Other brands don't do this that often. Even colour and stripes shirt at zara are always inline with current favourite colours.

The shirt collars as well are always up to date and trendy.

my 2 cents.

Yes. G2000's polyester pants are indeed comfortable.
